The Auditory System of the Dipteran Parasitoid Emblemasoma auditrix (Sarcophagidae) [PDF]

, 2016
Several taxa of insects evolved a tympanate ear at different body positions, whereby the ear is composed of common parts: a scolopidial sense organ, a tracheal air space, and a tympanal membrane. Here, we analyzed the anatomy and physiology of the ear at

“Vicious, Aggressive Bird Stalks Cyclist”: The Australian Magpie (Cracticus tibicen) in the News

Animals, 2016
The Australian Magpie ( Cracticus tibicen ) is a common bird found in urban Australian environments where its nest defense behavior during spring brings it into conflict with humans. This article explores the role of print media in covering this conflict.

Inhibitory control tests in non‐human animals: validity, reliability, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2482-2507, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Inhibitory control, the ability to control impulsive or pre‐learned behaviour in order to reach a more rewarding goal, is essential in many aspects of normal life. In non‐human animals, better inhibitory control performances have been associated with a larger brain, better problem‐solving skills, and fitness benefits.

Older and wiser? Age differences in foraging and learning by an endangered passerine [PDF]

, 2018
Birds use cues when foraging to help relocate food resources, but natural environments provide many potential cues and choosing which to use may depend on previous experience. Young animals have less experience of their environment compared to adults, so

Diversity in olfactory bulb size in birds reflects allometry, ecology, and phylogeny [PDF]

, 2015
The relative size of olfactory bulbs (OBs) is correlated with olfactory capabilities across vertebrates and is widely used to assess the relative importance of olfaction to a species’ ecology.

Mosquito iDNA Reflects Fine Scale Composition of Tropical Fauna

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
We used mosquito iDNA to investigate fine scale ecological patterns of birds and mammals in the tropical savanna woodlands of Kakadu National Park. Revealing that mammalian richness is influenced by site, while avian richness changes with season. While community composition is influenced by fire during the dry season and vegetation during the wet ...

The effects of age on vocal mimicry in female superb lyrebirds

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Avian vocal mimicry has typically been examined through the lens of sexual selection acting on males. However, the females of many bird species are accomplished vocal mimics; a fact that cannot be accounted for by traditional male‐centric explanations for vocal mimicry. Female superb lyrebirds Menura novaehollandiae mimic primarily during nest defence,
